Your customers can buy your issues from within your custom app. When they do, the issues
download to their device from a Web server.
Understanding the App Studio format
The App Studio format lets you create issues using HTML5 and JavaScript. Because
HTML5 is a platform-independent format, you can read App Studio issues in any Web
browser that has a compatible HTML5 renderer.
You can use three types of apps you can use to view App Studio issues:
• App Studio Issue Previewer. This free app is designed to let you view and test App
Studio issues on a physical device.
• A custom App Studio app. For example, if you are publishing a magazine, you
might have an app that has been built specifically to deliver that magazine.
• A Web App - a web based reader to view publication issues in desktop and device
browsers.
Each App Studio issue is made up of one or more articles. Each article corresponds to
a single QuarkXPress project file and may consist of one digital layout(if the article
supports only one orientation) or two digital layouts (if the article supports dual
orientations). An article can be one or more pages long, and does not have to represent
a discrete unit of content.
App Studio articles are not the same thing as QuarkCopyDesk articles.
Exported App Studio issues are hosted on the App Studio Publishing Portal. Because
they are in HTML5 content, you can view them in a Web browser by logging in to the
App Studio Publishing Portal. There, you can navigate to your issues, display their
component articles, and view individual pages in any orientation.
Understanding the App Studio Publishing Portal
On the App Studio Publishing Portal (http://my.appstudio.net), content is organized
into organizations, publications, issues, and articles.
• Organization: Represents the organization that is responsible for one or more
related publications. When you create an account on the App Studio Publishing
Portal, one of the first things you do is create an organization.
